Overview
This concept is central to understanding the checks and balances in India's democratic structure, the protection of fundamental rights, and the judiciary's role as a guardian of the Constitution and public interest. It demonstrates how citizens can seek redress against administrative failures.
Judicial review is a fundamental aspect of the Indian Constitution, allowing courts to examine the legality and constitutionality of executive and legislative actions. Public Interest Litigation (PIL) enables individuals or groups to approach the judiciary for the enforcement of public rights or duties, often acting as a crucial check on governmental power and ensuring accountability in governance.
